    The key takeaways are that bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death after injury and the ABCs (Alert, Bleeding, Compress) provide steps to control bleeding until emergency help arrives.

    The three steps to control bleeding are to apply direct pressure to the wound, use wound packing for deep wounds, and apply a tourniquet as a last resort for severe bleeding.

    Signs of life-threatening bleeding include continuous bleeding, large volume bleeding, and pooling of blood near the wound.

    Bleeding control in children

    • In all but the extremely young child, the same


    tourniquet used for adults can be used in children.

    • For the infant or very small child (tourniquet too


    big), direct pressure on the wound as described
    previously will work in virtually all cases.

    • For large, deep wounds, wound packing can be


    performed in children just as in adults using the same
    technique as described previously.
